There is a company near York Pennsylvania, that all they do is build 4X4 conversion vans. I've seen a 1 ton ambulance they built for around here once, and it had a Dana 60 in the front- with a custom built 4 link front suspention like a newer Jeep would use. They've been doing it for over 30 years. Maybey they could help steer you in the right direction or give you a pointer or two, worth a shot. This is there website Quigley Motor Company, Inc.

I just read a lil bit on there site, and they even have a diagram and tell a little bit what they do to the vans. Says they've been doing 4x4 vans since 1974. Good luck
